Hi Michelle, I like your videos!! I have a very specific question. I’ve been following this TikToker who shares what she eats in a day at these cool food spots (local & chain). People have criticized her for it but I don’t see what she did wrong and she doesn’t say anything hateful towards anyone. A few people duet/stitch her videos saying they have an issue with her content. I saw another lovely TikToker who shares what they (they use they/them pronouns!) eat in a day and also got hate. The first one is a average sized girl and the other person is on the “bigger” side. Both get hate for different reasons, I think the second TikToker gets hate because they’re “bigger” and caption their vids as “as someone who isn’t trying to lose weight” or something but they aren’t “unhealthy looking”. I wanna know what you think. I’m not trying to push hate towards any of the people mentioned, nor do I personally see an issue with either people sharing what they eat.

[@pthesmith]

I was in high school in the 80’s. Black girls were nowhere near the size of young girls today. So, Lizzo can miss me with her “black girls should be big and curvy” bullshit.

[@emilitalokita]

As a disabled teenager I found the body positivity community online and I ballooned up to 235lbs. I thought I was loving myself by eating everything I wanted all the time. Meanwhile, my autoimmune disease got worse and I was miserable and having constant flare ups and pain. I was on over 15 medications by 25. I am now 33 and I have managed to lose 100lbs even with rheumatoid arthritis, Scoliosis and PCOS. I used to be one of those people who believed I was just genetically fat, but I was seriously delusional about my diet. I didn’t eat a lot, but what I did eat was high calorie crappy food and way bigger portions to make up for the lack of time to eat. My relationship with food was a disaster and my relationship to exercise was even worse. I had to overcome 30+ years of fear of exercising because of chronic pain. Taking charge of my life was the best decision I could’ve ever made though. I am now down to 2 medications and went from a size 18 to a size 6. I feel younger than I ever have and my rheumatologist is shocked at my progress. I had to learn to love myself enough to do this for me. You were part of my inspiration to leave “body positivity” so thank you. All of those friends abandoned me, but I am happy I chose myself over a life of delusion just to keep those “friends”. Life can get better! Change is possible! 💗

[@sendnoodle5]

Do most folks not consider takeout to be fast food? Usually it's prepared faster than anything I can make at home and is always fatty or salty, so I've always considered takeout and fast food one in the same.

I completely agree that Lizzo promoting fat acceptance and obesity is detrimental to women of color. As a black woman, I’m expected to have more hips and thick thighs because “that’s how our bodies are”. I’m so sick of people like Lizzo just saying that’s the way you’re supposed to be. NO ONE is supposed to be obese.

Thank you for saying that! I know peoples bodies are not the same and some retain more weight than others, but we’re not meant to be severely overweight. Obesity shouldn’t be this big of an issue for so many people in this country, let alone us black folks. At risk for hypertension, we should be doing everything in our power to live healthy lives! I’m not saying we can’t pig out every once in a while, but moderation needs to be implemented.

[@rebekahramos4497]

What she says is that you’re supposed to be like YOU. So no you don’t have to look like her, just be happy about how you look

[@jellyrolly]

seems like only americans seem to push down that idea onto black women (well, mostly black americans). i have yet to see europeans, asians, latinos, or even continental africans obsessing over the thick body type. if you go to south sudan, people there tend to be very tall and thin. most of eastern africa seems to be pretty tall and lean. i was quite surprised as a non-black person that black women with thin figures were ridiculed by their peers and family growing up. honestly, any body type should not be shamed as long as the person is in a healthy weight range.

[@Jama380]

I am a women of color as well, and I am also so sick and tired of the fat activists always patronizing women of color like we are too poor, dumb, and lazy to speak for ourselves. Many act like they are the voice for the " marginalized" when actually, many only care about themselves, and using women of color as a pawn. I can speak for myself. As far as Lizzo, she cannot have it both ways. I TOTALLY understand she wants to be known for more than just her body. But, that is also what she ALWAYS puts front and center. Her body is what she spends a lot of time talking about. If you talk about it, others will too. Also, there is no safe space on the internet. If you want peace, get off of social media

[@QUEERVEEART]

when i was younger, i used to want to be famous, or at least well known. but im 30 now and im so content to sit in my screened in porch and enjoy nature all around me and crochet in my rocking chair without worrying about what others are thinking about me. i can spend time with my partner, my friends, my family happily without worrying about posting or commenting or producing content (i used to be an art youtuber). i just do art or crafts when i want to, where i want to and its just for me and it feels soooo good. id much rather have a life of joy and peace. nature is a much safer place than the internet. right now i live in a country town but its my dream to live in the country and have chickens one day lol

When I was like 6-7 I was a normal size kid but because my parents thought I wasn't eating enough they started giving me vitamins so I could get hungrier. I just can tell you I've never been able to recover a normal size and just know when it went out of control with over 60 lbs to loose, they thought that I was ok and healthy

I used to be 200lbs & didn't lose 50lbs til recently - using MyFitnessPal to track calories helps. I also like belly dance fitness videos. I had some weight\health related issues when I was heavier - I don't now. Now I want to lose the rest of the 40 (I'm 4"11), but it's a struggle cuz I can't really cut calories (I'm at 1,200/a day & have been for over a year) - my doc says to cut carbs 😓 (instead of focusing on calories. It's tough & I need to start doing it)

[@noni4315]

Lizzo is a great example of too much good is bad. If she is genuinely eating a health, holistic diet, she is simply eating way too much of it. As Michelle has said before, peanut butter is healthy but extremely calorically dense. I can't keep peanut butter in my home because it is a trigger for my binge eating disorder. It's a great source of protein, fiber, and healthy fat, but i can't eat just one or two tablespoons of it and i don't think most people do. I also love avocado, but it's 200+ calories in just one of them so i rarely eat them. There are plenty of nutrient rich foods that are very high in calories. A lot of people don't consider that.

[@jcaashby3]

I can bet you Lizzo thinnks she does not eat to much but like you said there are a lot of foods that pack a punch in calories like Peanut Butter. I remember my ex GF not knowing that liquor had calories in it!? So imagine her being in denial as to thinking they are not eating a lot but drinking calories not realizing that is adding weight to your body.

[@QUEERVEEART]

yes thank you for this !!! i have issues with food texture and nausea and sometimes its hard for me to get enough calories, so i look for these high calorie but still healthy foods to eat, but thats because some days i need more calories than is easy for me to consume.

[@jcaashby3]

@@Raya-ir4tm Never said just from drinking. I am talking about people who do not realize how many calories they are consuming from liquids alone. Like my ex not realizing alcohol has calories so in her mind their is no way drinking can make you gain weight.

[@silververnallbells191]

Funny how that works body to body cuz peanut butter helps fill me up in just 1 or 2 tablespoons on a sandwich - it helps me not to binge lol I agree about the avocado - IF I eat it I'll eat like a 4th at a time bcuz of the calories.

I really don't care how fat people look. I'm on my own weight loss journey from being obese, 70lbs down! So like, I won't shame fat women or anything, but if you're obese and think you're eating healthy, you should probably start tracking your food/calories just to confirm that's the case. I thought I was eating pretty healthy, myself, and was proven wrong. The thing is, for a lot of people health and beauty come together, so they see someone unhealthy and can't see their beauty beyond it.

[@kelseyw.3315]

Not to mention someone CAN be eating healthy while still eating in a surplus. There are a lot of foods that are incredibly healthy - in that they’re nutrient dense - while also being calorically dense.

I think it's great that we are at a place where we are a little more considerate and don't use someone's body as a way to shame them. To me, body positivity should be about being kinder to ourselves and not falling into ED tendencies. Yes, no two bodies look the same, so we shouldn't beat ourselves up for not looking like someone else. With that being said, we shouldn't forget to try and lead healthy lifestyles by eating well and exercising daily. Saying, "being obese is healthy " is both false and not helping anyone.

[@saskia9720]

To me, body positivity should be about accepting the parts of your body that you dislike, or that are different, but cannot be changed. For example, amputations, disabilities, scarring, cellulite, stretch marks etc. I think its dangerous for it to include weight extremes, such as being unhealthily overweight or underweight. These things damage your health, and do not need to be "accepted", because they are not permanent states of being. I dont think these things deserve hate at all, and shaming doesnt help anyone, but spreading the message to "love yourself no matter what" in reference to weight feels like enabling someone's unhealthy habits. If body positivity is about being kinder to yourself, that shouldn't be limited to just mental health (aka, not putting yourself down and feeling ashamed because of your body), but also include physical health (eating the right things and looking after your body).

@@Raya-ir4tm I do think that in certain cases she is looking for that praise, but maybe she just doens't want people to talk about it because it hurts her feelings?

I'm overweight too, like, severely, and I know i don't eat as healthy as i should, adn I need to work out but she's just spreading body positivity, like instead of hating my body and the way i look, I can focus on becoming more healthy and loving and embracing my body along the way. She's literally just saying "don't hate yourself even if you're "fat", you can still be beautiful" and it's not like "everyone should be obese and if you aren't then you're ugly too" no, that's literally also bodyshaming, she's just saying love your body and if you don't than look for healthy ways you can change that. I also struggle with restricting/binging/purging behaviour because of being unhappy with my body and it has made my life a living hell, so unless you are directly part of her life you don't get to have these opinions and say mean things, people literally just act hateful in the comments for attention, so they're no better than she is if that's what your claiming she's doing. I think if everyone was just respectful and kind and uplifting the world and internet would be a much better place. Maybe she is trying to take control of her weight and body and she's just struggling because it's actually difficult? Why do people have to be so mean, instead they could be kind, kindness goes a long way. Also i dont think it's her wanting people to worship her body, I think she's just calling bitchy people on their bitchy behaveviours and they're getting mad cause they got called out and can't be bitchy to everyone who isn't "perfect". Which is a term defined by society and doesn't even hold a true meaning at this point.

I don't eat fast food but also I live in Europe and eating fast food just wasn't the norm for me growing up so I don't even crave it. She doesn't want to be "thin" so she shouldn't be mad just because people have eyes. Some people never get comments on their bodies but those people don't twerk in bikinis on Instagram frequently so there's that...

[@agdoren]

Yeah, exercise isn't really going to make you lose weight. Being generous and assuming her 90 minutes of activity burns 500 calories it's easy to eat that and since she doesn't watch what she eats she's probably always in a surplus. She orders takeout a lot and restaurant is made to be delicious not healthy. Vegetarian, vegan, omnivore it's all loaded with sugar and oils, even from nice restaurants to make it more appealing to taste buds and basically fun to eat.

Its obviously awful when people make rude comments on her videos for no reason but the way she looks. However, when she talks about eating "clean" and being "holistically conscious" when she literally shows her meals, its clear that she's either lying or really uneducated. She literally has shown herself preparing frozen food (meant to be baked) by deep frying it in cold oil then slathering it in butter. Frozen foods are usually already deep fried 😭 and she still quadrupled the amount of oil in her meal. No matter how much she exercises, her liver and gallbladder won't be able to keep up (she already has gerd which is a bad sign), and she still has the nerve to claim to be healthy. It's not a moral failing to be unhealthy but body positivity folks cling on to the "healthy" label for dear life as if it'll actually help when their weight catches up to them. Kinda sad.

She doesn't realize that she is consuming a lot more calories than she is burning. I think she probably burns 3 to 4 thousand calories a day, but she eats 5 thousand, so she is big and she is getting bigger. She has to just accept that some people will not accept her. I get so much hate for not being ''the standard'' of anything in this world, but now at 50 years, 10 months and a few weeks on this planet, I realize it does not matter if some people don't accept me. Some will, some won't, so what?

Thank you for your funny, motivational videos Michelle. I've lost a little over 20lbs in the last few months and your videos serve as motivation... I'm 29, started at 242lbs in April and now today June 12th I weigh 219lbs. I've always struggled with binge-eating and consistency, like, do good for one week and then binge and have a horrible week. The last few months I've been 100% consistent and haven't binged once. Always in a calorie deficit, eating healthy, small portions (feel full faster), and doing some type of exercise every day. Love to walk now. Somedays I get 10k steps which before I didn't think would be possible for me. It encourages me to keep going, and watching videos like yours is so helpful. Don't understand fat acceptance at all... and I've been obese most of my life. The pain you feel from carrying excess weight is freaking awful, and if an obese person says differently they have to be lying to themselves. People like Lizzo who preach being obese is 'natural' and 'there's nothing wrong with it' are kinda insane. They have zero common sense... even if you put science and research aside, it is simply common sense that having more weight on your body will ultimately hurt you. Even just losing 22lbs (so far) I've noticed great changes. Feel better. Can move more. My legs feel stronger from exercising. Etc.

to be fair, there is a level of vitriol that lizzo gets that other fat artists don’t. people often say “it’s because she shows off her body” this weekend rick ross posted a video, he was laid in a bed, his body on full display, none of the comments were “he’s so fat” or “look at this whale” so as a man, i see there’s a certain level of hate women get from being larger, versus men. a man can lay or run around with manboobs and get no hate, lizzo on the other hand gets dragged-

[@Ray03595]

Looks matter less when it comes to men. Men are expected to provide and as long as they’re doing that they can be ugly and out of shape. Women are expected to look pretty and support the man and chuldrrn. As much as the newer gens are trying to break this mold I think it’s definitely still the norm of society, and perhaps of humanity. We’ve truthfully never deviated far from this structure. Whether that’s a good or bad thing, up to the individual. In my personal opinion there’s a biological factor that pushes men and women overall to fall into these roles.

I grew up before the Internet existed, and I do not understand how young people remain so confused about nutrition and exercise when all the information is readily available.

Whenever I talk about wanting to correct my chocolate binge-eating and exercising more (I work from home so I sit... A LOT), my immediate family and close friends shame me. My little sister (19) tells me off about how destructive my way of thinking is and that me talking about wanting to be healthier triggers her eating disorders and makes her hate her body more. (We're about the same size. People mistake us for twins). One of my best friends also tries to psychoanalyze me and says me wanting to make these changes is rooted in fatphobia. No one is understanding that I don't hate my body and I don't desire to become skinny. I enjoy my curves, and I don't want to do this to become "more attractive by not being fat". I just want to do better by my body as I'm getting older and more sedentary. I feel so alone on this.

I hated who i was and i started to notice and remember that junk food made me feel like junk but i couldn't stop eating it and fast food. Anyways i ran into your video on binge eating disorders and Idk if i had that but I felt all the tips you gave in my soul. That was back in January of this year. I decided to go on a slight calorie deficit and cut fast food and junk until i could have control over it. Now I am done to 180 to 190. I get so much motivation from watching your videos. No excuses kinda attitude was what i needed to get my butt moving and dedicated to bettering myself. Anyways I just love your videos and we have a similar personality.

Lizzo inspires me every single day to not sit down with a bag of Doritos and a container of cream cheese.

Did you ever do that?

I'm disabled and I love working out. I'm trying not to become overweight because that would make my flare ups worse and I don't want that. Your channel has helped me a lot through teaching me and also making me laugh

[@ItsLyricSoListen]

I know this is not the topic of the video but People really forget that it’s not about what you eat, it’s about how much you eat, and if you were a fat child because of family culture then that’s years of stretching your stomach out which means you need a massive amount of food to keep you full, that coupled with intuitive eating is a recipe for obesity.

[@serenahess1949]

Thank you for being able to talk about harmful misinformation, misinterpretation, and manipulation to these topics. Love hearing someone highlight these topics but stay relatable and straight-up. Keep on doing your thang ❤

personally, I think Lizzo's body looks great. but it's really not about looks, it *is* about health. if she wants to keep being able to move around on stage like she says, she needs to change. the extra weight will put stress on her joints and soon it'll be painful to move. not to mention breathing problems. I believe in beauty at every size, but health at every size is bs. it can have permanent changes on your body, even if you do lose weight. better not to get to that point in the first place. so many ppl from 600lb life that still waddle around even after they've lost tremendous amounts of weight and had skin removal. one girl's (Lupe I think) leg completely turned outward and it never went back to normal after. I think Lizzo's still at a point where she can change without having those permanent effects. she should take advantage of her active nature and age.

[@sabias3932]

Yup she’s lucky she doesn’t have joint pain already at her age and weight. I started getting joint pain at 28 when I got up to 164lbs at 5’2” 😩

[@BearPawSwipe]

Lol. You are beyond goofy.

I had to get below 10stone to get rid of my knee pain, 5'5 not even that short my body is just weak and can't handle that much weight

[@amandalopez6063]

@@BearPawSwipe lol I’m glad to see someone with the same though I had 😂

[@Badrecon33]

I understand that appearance is subjective, but I feel most part are capping when they say Lizzo (or any obese model) has a good looking body.

[@keyzie91]

Smokies, smoke sticks. That was so friggin cute 🥺🥰

Michelle if you uploaded twice a day I would still watch every single video. Long time fan (over multiple yt accounts over the years lol) and love you

I mentioned months ago that you inspired me to lose weight and get healthier. Then I got pneumonia and a Covid at the same time. Four and a half months later, three days in the hospital and a month and a half on home oxygen, I’m back on track and down six pounds. You continue to inspire!

[@silververnallbells191]

Sorry to hear you caught COVID, but I'm glad you're not in the hospital anymore! 6lbs is really good - keep it up you're doing great! (Exercising helped my friend recover from COVID - if you can't really get up to it there's Imi's Bigan Yoga that does really simple exercising (as well as face massage lol) that you can do sitting down. There's also sitting exercises you can look up on KZbin. Sometimes when I don't feel like getting up (depression) I do those) :)

[@ms.shineray]

Body positivity should be about taking care of your body and loving it while trying to keep it healthy not about glamorizeing obesity and being fat I dont know where people lost the track but clearly they did.

[@ericzingapan2488]

Im a 32 year olld man diagnosed with diabetes type 2. Before i was diagnosed, after i pee, ants would gather around the toilet bowl. When i say ants, i mean many ants. I was always thirsty. Then i decided to visit my doctor. I got my labs, i was horrified and i thought if this keeps up i will be dead soon. I have been paying around $100 a month for medications and thankfuly I have an insurance ( from my wife's company ) to cover it ( it usually cost around $150 per month for the laboratory work up ) i leave in the philippines and i know that this prices would go up significantly in the states.

I love your videos. You’re always so funnny and well spoken. You’re a true professionnal and you take your job as a youtuber seriously, wich is wonderfull for your fans. Loved your editing on this video with the music choices, and your clumbsiness with the « cigarette » Please continue as you do, it’s always interesting! Thank you!

[@AF-yf4zh]

I have seen a handful of Lizzo's performance and I haven't seen the fitness that everyone describes. Am I the only one?
